It describes electronic interference commonly experienced by
people with medical implants. (According to NIH, in 2000, 8-10% of the American
population had an implant--i.e. a cardiac pacemaker, insulin pump or deep brain
stimulator.) Walking through metal detectors, driving a Prius, being near
"smart" meters...can reprogram or shut off some medical implants.

2. In Eugene, I began learning about the Community Rights Movement. More than 200 communities in nine
states have passed legally-binding and locally-enforceable community rights
laws that

* restore a municipality's right to govern itself and
protect its public health and environment.

Could your town apply
Community Rights ordinances around "smart" meters and
telecommunications equipment? YES...with a public vote at the ballot box.

Over the past
200 years, corporations have been granted "rights" that enable them
to poison our water and air, pay their workers unreasonably low wages, run over
small farmers' livelihoods with factory farms and emit harmful radiation legally.

Corporations
now have "First Amendment free speech rights." Telecom corporations
claim, for example, that a municipality cannot require them to post SAR
labeling on mobile devices, because that would violate their right not to speak about a product's potential
harms.

Community Rights
ordinances nullify existing state, federal and corporate trade-treaty
pre-emption laws when those laws violate our inherent right of local
self-governance. (Imagine the public relations when corporations challenge this
in court.)
